Intro to editing regions and cells in Logic Pro for iPad
The main area in Logic Pro for iPad for editing regions is the Tracks area; for editing cells, it’s the Live Loops grid. Most of those tasks are for arranging regions and cells in your project. In the Editors area, which you show or hide by tapping the Editors button in the view control bar, you edit the content of a region and cell. In the inspector, you can view and edit the parameters of elements you select in the Tracks area, Live Loops grid, or Editors area.
Editors area
The Editors area in Logic Pro can display any of the five editors, depending on the type of region, cell, or track you select. For example, selecting an audio region displays the Audio Editor, and selecting a Session Player region displays the Session Player Editor. Each editor has a different interface and provides editing tasks specific to the cell or region type.
Audio Editor: Shows the track lane of an audio track with all the audio regions on that track. See Overview of the Audio Editor.
Piano Roll Editor: Shows the track lane of a software instrument track with all the MIDI regions on that track, where you edit the MIDI notes inside the MIDI regions. See Overview of the Piano Roll Editor.
Session Player Editor: Shows controls and settings of the currently selected Session Player region. If no region is selected, it shows the button Create Region at Playhead to create a new Session Player region at the playhead position on that track. See The Session Player Editor.
Step Sequencer: Shows the Step Sequencer pattern of the currently selected pattern region. If no region is selected, Step Sequencer is empty, and tapping a step creates a new pattern region at the playhead position on that track. See Intro to Step Sequencer.
Cell Editor: Shows the content of the selected cell. Depending on the region type in the cell, it displays one of the four editors. See Work in the Cell Editor.
If no region is selected, the Editors area shows the corresponding editor based on the region type of the selected track. See Create tracks.
Note: In the Track inspector, you can change the Default Region Type parameter of a software instrument track to MIDI, Pattern, or Session Player.
